Yeah, that's another way of doing this. Basically what I'm looking
for is some sort of framework on the Mainframe side that will accept
input of data and how we want it displayed and then handles the
transmission to some PC component (either to a browser or to a
standalone app) and responding to requests from the PC.
I'm just looking for options and what's available besides writing it
ourselves.
(I probably should not have mentioned 3270 screens, that kinda muddled
things a bit here. My bad. )

Well, I have a fair idea what you want. But I cannot conceive of a way to do it using the
3270 data stream. Personally, I'd go with having some way to invoke the debugger via
HTTP, using a web browser. Then use AJAX to implement the "windowing" within
the browser itself with a Java app or Javascript.

Subject: Re: GUIfication of tn3270 screens
John,
It's for an application that has already been written by us.
The app is
an assembler debugger and we want to add the ability/option of
displaying it's contents on the PC with something other than
in a 3270
emulator. There's not a lot of real estate in a 3270 screen and
there are limitations on how we display things. This is
becoming more
of an issue as we move beyond just debugging HLASM programs.
With regards to the multiple tabs/windows. The general idea
behind the
GUI on the PC would be that in a single debugging session,
you can have
a window open for displaying the code as you are stepping
through it.
Another window to display register contents, another one for
variables,
another one for displaying storage that your program will modify,
another window for HELP, etc. If you have used Eclipse or Visual
Studio, it's similar to something like that.
